For the salad

The carrot, with its distinctive bright orange colour, is one of the most versatile root…

half large or 1 small cucumber

2 tbsp white wine vinegar

1 tsp golden caster sugar

Method

Tip the salmon into a food processor with the paste, ginger, soy and chopped coriander. Pulse until roughly minced. Tip out the mix and shape into 4 burgers. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan, then fry the burgers for 4-5 mins on each side, turning until crisp and cooked through.

Meanwhile, use a swivel peeler to peel strips of carrot and cucumber into a bowl. Toss with the vinegar and sugar until the sugar has dissolved, then toss through the coriander leaves. Divide the salad between 4 plates. Serve with the burgers and rice.

Tip

Oily fish makes a heart-healthy
alternative to red meat burgers. This
recipe would also be delicious with tuna steaks.

Tip

Thai salmon skewers

Mix the curry paste, ginger, soy and oil with 1 tsp
honey and seasoning. Marinate the salmon chunks
in the curry mixture for 10 mins. Cut 1 red pepper
and 1 courgette into chunks, then thread onto
skewers with the salmon. Griddle for 8 mins,
turning, until the salmon is cooked through.

This has become a huge favourite between my partner and I! We have these at least once a week. I add spring onions to the salmon burger and garlic - this makes it extra scrummy!!We usually serve ours with sweet potato wedges dusted with smoked paprika, cumin and salt and pepper!

Delish recipe, really flavoursome and a nice alternative way to have salmon. I made extra and froze them (prior to cooking), these were just as nice when defrosted and cooked. Served with green beans and brown rice.

These were brilliant. I put a little bit too much paste in as I had less salmon than suggested, which made it slightly soggy but I think had I put a small amount less it would have been perfect. Will definitely be making again! Highly recommended.

I made this recipe for the second time tonight and really enjoyed it again. We don't have a food mixer so I chopped everything as small as possible and grilled as patties. There were a little wet but just turned down the heat and flipped them over to ensure they were cooked. Can't recommend more!

Really yummy, healthy and super easy to make. Didn't crumble like fishcakes i've tried to make before. Used green thai curry paste instead of red because that's all I had in the fridge, but it worked fine, not too spicy. Lovely with brown rice cooked in stock and a salad!

I added spring onions, garlic powder, black pepper and lemon juice with sweet chilli dipping sauce to the side. Also used green thai paste as I already had it in the fridge. As others have said, they are rather soggy when you first put them in the pan but they do hold their shape well. One burger would not have been enough for us so we used the above recipe for 2 with salad and wedges. Highly recommend for a tasty and healthy quick dinner!

These are so easy to prepare and cook! I used red wine vinegar & brown sugar for the carrot & cucumber marinade. Next time I would add spring onion to the burger, and possibly serve a chilli dressing with it

Really enjoyed these, halved the amount to make for 2, but made 2 smaller salmon burgers each rather than one large one. I found that the ginger did overwhelm slightly, but that can be easily rectified for next time. Simple & tasty.
